HALIFA1, N. s., April IA change Of
feeling has occurred in Newfoundland
over the Bait bill. The Herald publishes
a st. Johns letter which says:
THE opposition has shown the Legis.
iature and the country that the Bait bill
ls powerless, oven il assented to, to pre-
vent the French and Americans from pro.
curing bait, and that it would create uu.
bearable monopolies in the bait, banking
and herring tieheries and ruin thousands
oil our fishermen. Again and again they
sounded this alarm, but the government
suppressed their speeches. They pro-
tested and spoke against the bill, and the
government dared not suppress their
speeches second time.
From being popular measure the bill
has become most unpopular one, and it
ls safe to soy that the government itaelf
will now take steps to have it disallowed.
They could not enforce it's provisions !;
they dared not il they could, and they
will doubtless prefer to back down now
rather than after the bill has been assented
to by the Queen in council.

TO trial.
This has been definitely decided upon
by District Attorney MARITIME, end the pre-.
parasion OF the case for presentation to a

Sharp's trial was decided upon because
the Dis.rict Attorney does not wish to run
the risk OF another Disagreement in the

some Of tho alleged tempters in the
famous case, as this will bring out an en-
tirely n.y line OF evidence which has not
been hintsd at by the people ol tho DIE
trict Attorneys office. This, 1t is now In,
timatod, will be OF very sensational
character, and after having been made
available in the trials Of the chiefs OF the
conspiracy, can then be used against the
Aldermen who have not yet been tried.
Tho date Of Snarp's trial has no. yet
been fixed, but ii will probably bs early
